A TERRIBLE END.
(Received December 19,10,30 p.m.)
Perth, December 19,
Between fever and thirst, the goldfields aro gaining anything but an enviable notoriety. Many of the camps aro ravaged by typhoid. A party of miners who had Bold their claim at Dundas for £SOOO started to walk to Coolgardie. They got as far as a place called Sandy Soak, 55 miles from Coolgardie, and discovered that the water there had given out.
Two of tbo men uamed McNnlty and O'Connor, went in search of water. Their clothes and swags wero afterwards found thrown about, and it is supposed the unfortunate men became delirious, wandered away, and porished miserably.
